It's easy for PHP code in the landing download page to get the information

standalone know about Bob?

One thought: PHP gets the info and sends it to the download server via a POST action to a CGI on the download server. The download server's CGI parses the parameters and writes the info to a file or database. When the standalone launches on a user's machine, it does a "get URL" of the CGI on the download server, which looks up the data and returns it.


I left out something. You need some kind of identifying info so that you know who to look up. So unless you require a registration, where they enter their name on both the server and into your standalone, this method won't work. :(

Do you really need to tie each copy to a specific user? Maybe just knowing that Bob referred 10 people and another server referred 40 is enough?
